Once a long time ago I had some problems after upgrading a computer from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I got on a chat with someone from Microsoft support and eventually started a remote session with them. The first thing he did was go into the chat app from my side and give himself 5-star ratings across the board and pasted in some feedback about being diligent and responsive. That whole part took less than 30 seconds.

At the end of the day he couldn’t resolve the issues and we ultimately downgraded back to Windows 7.

That's a little hilarious. I especially like the part that that took 30s, but you stuck it out with the rogue until the end of the day.

At first I thought it was funny, but was less impressed in the end

That's super messed. Hope he eventually helped someone who happened to be screen recording and reported him for rating himself without permission.
